Monte Carlo, Mille Miglia, Nurburgring .
These are the deadliest curves, filled with the legends of men, machines and immortality.
Join me for a tour of the giants of racing, from 1896 through the 1960's, and their pictures and stories.
Blood, victory, defeat and courage; often in the same race.

The Legendary Carrera PanAmericana Road Race

The PanAmericana Road Race of the early 1950's was one of the most grueling, deadly and exciting races in the world. Eventually, the sheer madness and length of such a race, under such extreme conditions led to it's eclipse. But the handful of events witnessed were the fertile ground of legends. Over the next few days, I will post pictures and articles about this, one of the Deadliest of Curves...

This is the cover of Motor Life magazine, from February, 1955, which pays tribute to the Mexican Road Race.
